So billski is off on another Ski Safari. The first stop was Storrs Hill Ski Area, run by the Lebanon Outing Club. Eight cars in the lot, count-em! It is literally within the town limits of Lebanon, NH. I love these little places where nobody is a stranger for long. Storrs Hill is owned by the town and is considered recreation land. It's run by volunteers and is always looking for help.
The lodge was cozy yet complete. They kept their snow making hoses under the benches!
Apologies for the photos. What you see of the lodge is what you get!
Sorry, I can't figure out how to get a good indoor photo with this camera phone.
I paid my ticket fare of ten dollars for an all-day pass. It was hand-written, which is pretty standard at a place this size. That was one of the lowest prices I'd ever paid at that time. More on that in the next safari stop later.
Storrs has an impressive number of active ski jumps. They looked a bit scary, not as substantial as the Olympic 60 and 90 meters, but I guess you gotta start somewhere!
Training jump:
The BIG jump:
I jumped on the T-bar, and the man kept checking to make sure this wasn't my first time. You know how to use this? You OK? Glad to see the love and attention.
Nice pasture-like setting. The view of the city was unusual but not unique.
Good, soft corn snow.
It's 2pm. Time to round up the cattle and move on north to the pastures of Northeast slopes. Move them doggies along! Git! Git!
